SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 741,794, dated October 20, 1903. Application filed March 19, 1903. Serial No. 148,564. (No model.)

ing of oven-doors used in connection. with ranges and the like; and the primary object thereof is to provide a door and the hanging means therefor which will be simple both from an economical and convenient standpoint.

My invention further consists in thedetails of construction whereby V the above-enumerated features are carried out and used, all of which will be hereinafter fully set forth and claimed. r r g In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1- is a view in perspective of a range provided with a door embodying the present invention. Fig. 2 is a central vertical transverse section of the same, the door in this view being shown in open position.

A, B, G, and D represent the side or outer walls of the range, which maybe made in sections and joined together at the corners, as illustrated in the drawings.

F represents the oven-box, which is inclosed at all points within the range, but has an opening at the face A for the door. The bottom F of this oven-box is raised, so as to leave an opening or space F between it and the bottom of the range, and this opening communicates with the flue D and also with the smoke-box E, which is formed by arranging the diaphragm E between the end walls and spacing the same from the wall 0 of the range.

The detail construction of the range as described in the foregoing constitutes no part of the present invention, thesame being embodied in a companion application bearing Serial No. 128,003; but, as heretofore stated, the oven-door constructing a hanging means constitutes the present invention, and I will now proceed to describe the same in detail in and downward movement.

connection with the oven-box heretofore described.

' An opening A is provided in the wall A of the range, this opening being approximately equal in width and heightto the adjacent end of the oven-box. A frame K is provided for this opening and is bolted or riveted to the wall A. This frame K has two outwardlyprojecting curvedside flanges or ledges K, extending vertically and curving outwardly in approximatelyan arc of a circle. The periphery or curved edges of the flanges or ledges K form runners or guides for an outwardly and downwardly curved door L, the door-being provided with clipsZ l, which en- -gage'theedges of the flanges K, and it is thus that the door is guided along in its upward The door L as it is raised slides inward within the ovenbox, and in order to retain or sustain the inner end of the door L and cause it to slide in a direction approximately parallel with the top of the oven-box I have provided rotary rods N, which are pivoted at their lower ends, as at N, to the side walls of the oven and to the upper portion of the door L by the links it 17].. These rods N (of which there are two, one at each'side of the oven-door and one of which is shown in Fig. 2) constitute the pivotal connection of the door L and guide the same along the upper end of the oven-box, so that when the door occupies an open position it will lie entirely out of the way or, in other Words, beneath the top wall of the oven.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. A door for a range-oven, the same being downwardly and outwardly curved, and adapted to be operated in a vertical direction, pivoted radial rods for supporting the free ends of the door, and having their outer ends pivoted in relation thereto and'guides embodying ways or tracks, engaged by the lower end of the door, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. I

2. The combination with the range, of'the oventhereof, of a frame secured to the front wall of the oven, outwardly and downwardly curved guides secured to said frame, and having their upper and lower ends lying in the same plane, a door curved to conform to the curvature of said guides, and having its lower end slidably mounted thereon, and means arranged within the oven for pivotally supporting the upper end of the said door.

3. The combination With the range and the even, said range having its front Wall formed with an opening, a frame secured to the front Wall of said oven and encircling the opening thereof, guides carried by said frame, an oven-door, clips secured to said door engag ing said guides, rods pivoted within the oven, and links connecting said rods, to the upper end of said door.

4. A range comprising an oven-box, open at one side, a door for closing, the said open- GUSTAV OTT.
